One of my favorite silly feelings as a Trans person is the feeling of biblical greed due to how many names I have. Like yes I have three first names, I'm a dragon with my horde.

I also like the feeling of being some sort of mysterious legend with all the names I've had over the years. "He's a man of many names. Over time he only seems to accumulate more. You never know what title he'll gain next."

Mythology can be such an interesting and beautiful thing. But they did not, and do not exist in a vacuum. And how they treat women in their stories gets directly tied into how they treat women in their culture. And these aren't just things of the past, they still affect us to this day. My heart breaks for all the women and girls who across times and cultures have been abused and mistreated due to these myths.

Out in the June sun at the hot springs. And as a vampirekin I feel a bit like a fish out of water but at least I look nice. I don't exactly shimmer in the sun tho.

I'm currently reading Jane Austen in 50 Words by Maria Frawley. It examines some of the most frequently used words in Austen's writing and explores how they were emphasised/offers some explanations as to why. It's pretty hardcore lit crit... plenty of which, I confess, is flying over my head (it's been a while since I last engaged with this sort of academic writing!) but I wanted to share a point I found interesting in the entry for 'amiable'.

In Chapter 59 of Pride and Prejudice, when Mr Bennet is questioning his daughter about her engagement, Elizabeth uses that very word to describe Mr Darcy:

“Have you any other objection,” said Elizabeth, “than your belief of my indifference?” “None at all. We all know him to be a proud, unpleasant sort of man; but this would be nothing if you really liked him.” “I do, I do like him,” she replied, with tears in her eyes, “I love him. Indeed he has no improper pride. He is perfectly amiable. You do not know what he really is; then pray do not pain me by speaking of him in such terms.”

I suppose I'd never really given such a description much thought, but I do think the heroine earnestly describing the hero as 'perfectly amiable' to her concerned father would seem a little trite for an Austen novel, if you take it in the more modern sense, where Elizabeth would be calling Darcy perfectly pleasant/friendly/nice.

But Frawley explains amiable here is meant in the archaic sense of 'worthy of being loved' i.e. that Darcy has admirable traits that make him worthy of being esteemed and possible for Elizabeth to want to marry him (you can read a bit more about the roots of amiable here). Also Elizabeth doesn't suddenly believe Darcy to be faultless, as perfectly here means to a complete/adequate extent.

Elizabeth is still offering high praise of Darcy indeed, but it is a lot more grounded and reflects the reality of their rocky relationship. Love finding these nuggets because it reminds you that no matter how many times you've engaged with Pride and Prejudice (or indeed any Austen novel) there is always something new to uncover!
